the terminus of the Little River Branch, NZ, early 20th century


The end of the 36 km branch (from Lincoln) and the end of easy terrain which was why it got no further.  Stage coaches then buses took passengers and merchandise over the hills to Akaroa. 

The end of the branch came in 1962 but the station is still in use as a craft shop and there are a few historic railway items on display.  For more, see our books.
